Bones or Castle? Life after The Mentalist

I agree, you should watch Castle and start with the first showing. However, I would also suggest watching Firefly first if you can get it. I didnt see Firefly until this year and I realise now that there are a lot of things on Castle that are a throw back to Firefly that you will only enjoy if you see Firefly first. If you cant get it done worry the show is great anyways. I think you will enjoy the relationship btween Castle and his daughter.

One must never recommend Firefly without warning about the order in which the episodes should be watched, because that's not the order in which the idiots at Fox first aired them.

It's interesting to see Firefly and Castle being talked about in the same thread. FYI, Gina Torres (Zoe from Firefly) guest stars on the next ep of Castle. Hoping to see some winks to Nathan and Gina's old gig.

Good point. I guess I always thought they were in Netflix in the correct order now. I have seen them all so I just skip around to my favorites. Wait, they are all my favorites. I just skip around to my most favorites.

Hard to explain the nightmares. She doesn't have a ton of them, but every so often after an intense episode. It's not the gore, at all - but the fact that characters (ok, mainly Patrick) she's grown to like could be the target of someone who is trying to kill them and that there are really people like some of the villains out in the world.

Just FYI, a lot of TV shows pull out the 'one of the main characters is in danger' card eventually, so in the later seasons you will see this motif show up on Castle.

I'd say both, though I "gave up on" Bones years ago.. it's one of the ones I intend to catch up on some eon.

20 minutes a day? Wow, even though there have been times when I've watched a feature length movie in 2 parts (not often), I don't *that* regularly watch a single episode of a show in multiple parts. The closest is when I'm walking on the treadmill, but even then I usually do something like a few sitcom episodes or 1 "hr" show (~4x minutes) + an ep of Jeopardy&#8230; Once in a while I will continue on another ep of an hour long show, but then finish it for sure the next day.

Drives me a little crazy, but that pretty much means an episode lasts 2 days given that most are about 40ish minutes without commercials. I would not be able to watch a movie across more than a day - even that is too much for me.

I watch both Castle and Bones. Prefer Castle now that Emily's character is going a bit too far with the obsessive logic. She has no people skills and its irritating to me and the other characters on the show.

I'll plus one the recommendation for Psych. It is very light and even when the main cast is in danger, it is still very light. The only episodes that get dark are the Yin and Yang episodes and that is only I think three episodes over the course of seven seasons.
